QNX Software Systems Limited today announced that Mercedes-Benz has selected the QNX CAR™ platform to power the infotainment system in the Mercedes-Benz Concept S-Class Coupe, an exciting new concept vehicle created to showcase Mercedes-Benz’ latest advancements in user experiences for the car.

The concept car’s infotainment system brings the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy to life with a fresh and refined approach to the all-digital instrument cluster and head unit. The digital dials are functional yet sensual in the use of 3D and light, complementing the new interior. The use of particle effects conveys a sense of emotion to the head unit’s main menu and mood-based selection of music, while the new Garmin map strikes a balance between form and function so that you arrive in style.
